Sentinels and TenZ Make a Strong Return at VCT Masters Madrid 2024
Sentinels and their star player, TenZ, have made their highly anticipated return to the international stage at VCT Masters Madrid 2024. After a three-year absence, they are now the center of attention in the esports community.
TenZ Expresses Confidence and Highlights Key Factors for Success
In a pre-Masters press conference, TenZ expressed confidence in Sentinels’ abilities, despite the skepticism surrounding their absence from the international stage. He emphasized their experience and deep understanding of the game, which sets them apart from other participants. TenZ also acknowledged the challenges posed by new teams entering the scene and the need for some adjustment to different monitor rates for the tournament.
TenZ Credits Sentinels for Enabling His Aggressive Playstyle
TenZ credited Sentinels for their support in facilitating his aggressive playstyle, allowing him to make impactful plays regardless of the agent he chooses. Although he often picks Omen, he still considers himself a flexible player within the team. The combination of Omen’s strengths and TenZ’s individual skills creates a deadly synergy in their gameplay.
The Versatility of Omen and Sentinels’ Enhanced Cohesion
Reflecting on Omen’s strengths, TenZ highlighted the versatility of smokes and the utility of one-way setups for area control. Playing Omen allows him to make more individual plays compared to other controllers. Even in the current meta, where double duelist compositions are popular, TenZ feels more comfortable playing Omen. He can set up plays for his teammates and play around them, resulting in improved synergy and cohesion within Sentinels.
Despite the high expectations from the community, TenZ and Sentinels remain focused on their goal of success at VCT Masters Madrid, which is set to begin tomorrow at 9am CT.
